Northern Ireland’s Attorney General John Larkin QC spoke about religious freedom at the launch of a new resource from the Evangelical Alliance and Lawyers’ Christian Fellowship, the News Letter reports.

The Speak Up guide aims to “equip and inspire Christians with confidence and knowledge of the current legal freedoms we have to share our faith”.

Mr Larkin spoke alongside Sir Nigel Hamilton, retired head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service, at the launch event in Belfast’s Skainos Centre at 12.30pm today.

Peter Lynas of the Evangelical Alliance said: “Speak Up encourages Christians to understand and enjoy the legal freedoms which exist across the UK to speak publicly about their faith.”
